Turbo Everdrive V2 does not work in my US Turbo

[bozo55]

2.1 will work as long as nothing is connected to the expansion port.  2.3 should work in all situations.

Both of the TG16 consoles were hooked up through the expansion port with a 3rd party adapter. This is actually the only way I have of hooking them up to the TV right now.

interesting, which 3rd party adapter is that? From what I understand, TurboBoosters and CD-ROM attachments cause instability.

he may be meaning one of these:

that would be consuming no power so should be fine

I got this one, it's probably the same thing as the link mickcris posted but just in an enclosure. Thought for sure this wasn't going to work but so far so good and it is just about time to play with it some more. :]

You paid to much for it on ebay

LOL!! i love how the auction states "NEW COLORS AVAILABLE!! NO EXTRA CHARGE! RED/WHITE/GREEN/BLUE/YELLOW and BLACK!!" Wahahahahahahaha thank god he figured out they make other color electrical tape besides black and he wont even charge extra to wrap it in a different color.

I'm just glad I have something I can use to hook the system up. When first dug out all the old consoles I only had RF and it stopped working after not very long. I was looking for a booster when I found that but the booster would have cost a lot more and I didn't want to spend any money on another RF adapter. My only complaint about the device is that with it I can't put the back of the system on when using it.

Ya ill agree there, anything is better than rf!

Update. Mine came today, and I can load the screen to select the ROM but once I select the rom, it goes to the loading screen... Then nothing. Either its a hell of a load time after the loading screen disappears or I may have just wasted 70 bucks on a V1 that wont work with my Modded Duo.


Any help would be awesome...

Edit: Tested on my non modded OG TG16 and it also gets to the boot screen but then as soon as the loading screen disappears it no longer does anything. Just welcomed with a black screen OF DOOM.

Edit Edit:

So I had the ROMs zipped up still, and I guess I think I may have to unzip them to work. The misses is watching Netflix on the "Gaming" TV. i will report when I can... lol


Edit Edit of the Edit edit times 10:

Figured out you have to unzip the ROMs but V1.2 works great on my 27 AWG Big ass mechanical switch region modded DUO and stock TG16.

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents out there.

I had this issue on my duo.  I would load the everdrive on my duo which was not region modded and had all the caps replaced.  It would load games but they would be corrupt.  It worked perfect on my TG-16 however.

Even had Krikkz look at it and he sent be a brand new one, same thing happened.

I made a topic here about it as well and no one knew the answer.

I solved the problem by replacing the reservoir caps on the 7805 regulators with larger ones (2200uF from 1000uF).  I also replaced the 7805's with 1.5A 7805's.

Works fine on my Duo now.

Good to know, I thought I read somebody else mention that it was a good idea to replace those old regulators with better ones. Something about better protection with newer models when they break down and what not.

I know this topic is old, but was having an issue on the Shuttle I have for sale.  I tried just about everything to get that console to run the v2.  I finally was able to get it work by installing a region mod, believe it or not.  Before the region mod, it would start getting corrupted graphics and then freeze.
